On the sixth day in, a neighborhood brunch, wanderings, film and tea smoked tempeh sandwiches at The Hazel Room for a casual dinner kept Julia & I busy all day. Fortunately, evening mojitos with crushed local strawberries and fresh mint kept us in the 100 Days swing.

The start of Day Eight was fairly epic. I was exhausted from a late night and VVC had a big morning ahead with the nuts and bolts of the opening of early bird registration. Consequently, legit vegan brunch and a french press of Stumptown started it all. As tickets zoomed by, I visited the Lents Farmers Market and my beloved JC Rice Noodle Shop out in Lents, and the evening winded down like so….

I haven’t visited in awhile. Jess. All I can say is — wow! What an inspiration you are. I’ve been such a kitchen slacker lately–pleading “busy.” You’re demonstrating and are reminding me about what a joy cooking is. Happy summer! XO

This all looks great! What a fantastic idea your 100 day challenge is. I’ve gotten lazy and am often getting prepared foods. I might have to put myself on this challenge too. Thanks for sharing the photos!
